Culture War Roundup for the week of January 30, 2023

This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.

Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.

We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:

  • Shaming.

  • Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.

  • Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.

  • Recruiting for a cause.

  • Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.

In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:

  • Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.

  • Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.

  • Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.

  • Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.

On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Namely, that the trend is towards an anti-masculine, pro-feminine moral standard.

Interestingly, this mimics another comment I just saw: the upper classes of Western countries have pivoted to be against labor and for capital.

Because men sociobiologically code as expendable labor (supply-side gender), and women as valuable capital (demand-side gender), and these conditions continue, we should expect this to persist until one of those change.

Why's it so bad now? You could say it's just a reaction to the sexual revolution, but I believe it's because the niche and social role of labor has shrunk massively since industrialization to the point some countries now consider themselves "post-industrial"; those countries also consider themselves "post-national" (immigrant and border stances- men logically care about this more than women because they're the labor gender and thus cheap replacements here threaten their position in a way they don't for women, and you can see this gender divide reflected in polling) and "post-men" (rampant inequality favoring women in what should ostensibly be equal partnerships- family courts, sex-based spoils systems, etc.).

In that light, maybe it's not that weird that current counter-culture is currently dominated by women becoming men? If "woman good", what better "fuck you exclusively-female authority figures" than "now I'm a man"?

It's also worth noting that between 1940 and 1970, the script was temporarily flipped due to the German (later American) sponsored total destruction of European industry. Which is... interesting that that's exactly what America has been doing to Europe and China now.
